Parts and neuroimaging
It is made up of a network of nerves.
Peripheral nervous system
are the nerve cells responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system towards muscles to cause movement.
motor neurons
is in charge of creating and releasing hormones to maintain countless bodily functions.
Endocrine system
is usually a permanent condition where the thyroid gland is underactive and cannot produce enough thyroid hormone
Hypothyroidism
the main function of this organ is to make hormones that control blood sugar levels.
Pancreas
Release of Glucose in the Blood is from what nerves?
Sympathetic Nervous System
Are the key building blocks of the nervous system (NS) and responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information from sensory organs to other parts of the body
Neurons
are chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs
Hormones
This are the two hormones that are mostly in the body of a woman
estrogen, progesterone
Alterations in this hormone production affect sleep and psychological well-being.
Melatonin
This two glands sit above the kidneys on each side of the body

Thymus
prevents blood sugar (glucose) levels from dropping too low
Glucagon
Low levels of this hormone can result in decreased empathy and poor self–esteem
Oxytocin
It allows evaluating brain activity in milliseconds and organizing brain functional maps with the delimitation of brain structures in spaces of small centimeters
MEG or Magnetoencephalography
the nerve cell that has the smallest axon
Relay neuron
what organ produces a hormone that helps control basal metabolic rate
Thyroid gland
Hormone that helps control metabolism, inflammation, bone health, attention and memory, reproductive function, heart rate and blood pressure
Cortisol
This hormone plays a role in brain function, Deficiencies can lead to impaired cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Growth Hormone
